I defy my honored opponents to give me the name of a single man imprisoned in the United States, Great Britain, or West Germany for being an atheist.

Who has fought for freedom and obtained it - atheists or Christians?

Richard WurmbrandThe Communist torturers often said, 'There is no God, no hereafter, no punishment for evil. We can do what we wish.'

He expressed it in unbelievable brutality and torture inflected on prisoners.
